They are living in Idaho and are carrying with them pressure cookers when they are going to stay at a fancy hotel in NY. And they just happen to have Muslim names. Article says they are originally from Kuwait.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Lying scum. You don’t cook rice in a pressure cooker.

[Darksheare]

Handle bacon, shake hands with them..

And they are obviously lying.

[P.O.E.]

I don’t believe a word any of those b-———s say.

[iowamark]

Sometimes pressure cookers are actually used for cooking.

[Sacajaweau]

Hey boys....Gotcha!!

Good call on the part of the Hotel people.

[beethovenfan]

Uh-huh. Yeah. Right.

[trisham]

Good for the NYPD.

[COBOL2Java]

Police detained two men at a Midtown hotel late Friday after a doorman reported they possessed a pair of pressure cookers like those used to make the Boston Marathon bombs.

And their names were Mohammad Alotaibi and Ayoub Alawadhi?! Well, that's clearly a case of profiling! The Justice Department will be lookin' into this!"

Bought the pressure cookers in Dearborn MI and brought them along to NYC for a few days of sightseeing fun.

NYC should charge an import sales tax.

Alawadhi said they put the cookers in the back of their car, and drove to
Manhattan for a few days of sightseeing fun. Then they planned to drive back home to Idaho.

Who drives cross country with Pressure cookers in their trunk? Maybe they
thought if they bought them in Idaho they couldn't be traced back.

“We were supposed to stay until Tuesday, but we are leaving Sunday.”
Hey, as we say here in America, “don’t let the door hit ya”.

[Two Kids' Dad]

If they’re brand new pressure cookers still in the boxes with receipts showing they were just purchased for a good price, then it’s possible they had legitimate intentions. Not likely, but possible.

If the pressure cookers were not new in the original boxes, there’s zero chance they were intended for anything other than terrorism.

Regardless, it was a very good thing to arrest them and investigate.

In my opinion, the statement by the punks that they had never heard of the Boston bombing is proof they are lying scumbags. Good for the doorman. Otherwise, no telling how many New Yorkers would never see Monday.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Hmmmm, sounds like laws are needed. A background check, 72 hour waiting period, registration and a competency test for the use and handling of pressure cookers seems to be in order. Probably need to do pilot tests in Chicago, NYC and DC.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

with the pressure cookers

One pressure cooker --improbable story. More than one pressure cooker --unbelievable story.

[Chickensoup]

Rice is not cooked in a pressure cooker because it gums up the cooker.

[stylin19a]

must be special pressure cookers ...to be bought in Dearborn Mich.
